The palace in the middle of the night cannot see the whole picture clearly, but it is still solemn and solemn. Once stepping in, one can feel the oncoming sense of oppression, which is the result of reverence and fear rising from the bottom of the heart.

Carrying Shen Qingwan's sedan chair from the palace all the way to the side gate of the palace, when she got off the sedan chair, Shen Qingwan walked straight to the emperor's bedroom led by the servant Zhang Tiande.

The palace was so heavily guarded that not even an ant could crawl in. Every ten steps, you could see a guard in armor, standing there quietly like a straight log no matter the day or night.There are also guards who come back from time to time to inspect the handover, guarding the entire palace like an iron bucket.

Zhang Tiande led Shen Qingwan through the palace without stopping, and arrived in front of the bedroom in a short while. He bowed and knocked on the door, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this servant has invited Princess Qingyang into the palace." .”

After waiting for a while, the emperor's voice came out, full of listlessness and weakness: "Hey, Wan'er is here, let her come in."

"The slave obeys."

Zhang Tiande took the order, bowed and took two steps back, and waved to Shen Qingwan, "Please, princess, Your Majesty let the princess enter the palace."

Shen Qingwan walked to the door with a blank expression, and the closed door of the main hall slowly opened. The two servants who opened the door bowed to salute when they saw Shen Qingwan.

Shen Qingwan closed her head, stepped slowly across the high threshold, and walked into the hall.

As in the past, when the emperor summoned Shen Qingwan, all the servants beside him retreated, leaving only one deaf servant to serve in the hall, even the famous Zhang Tiande couldn't stand aside to serve.

As soon as the hall door was closed, Zhang Tiande stood outside the door and waited quietly. Seeing this, a servant beside him stared at the hall door several times curiously.

Zhang Tiande glanced at him coldly, did not speak, but secretly scolded the idiot in his heart.

Zhang Tiande has known for many years in the palace that serving the emperor, for the servants, curiosity is the poison that blindly kills, especially those servants who serve the emperor are walking on thin ice.

The little servant had just been transferred to Jingren Palace not long ago, and he had never seen anyone outside the palace summoned by the emperor late at night, so he was very angry about it.He was young and sweet, and Zhang Tiande was usually coaxed very happily, so relying on this relationship, he boldly walked a few steps closer to Zhang Tiande, smiled and asked in a low voice: "My lord, Your Majesty will Princess Qingyang..."

Before the question was finished, Zhang Tiande suddenly gave him a hard look, and warned meaningfully: "If you want to live a stable life in the palace, you have to know what to ask and what not to ask."

The little servant was taken aback when he heard the words, not knowing why Zhang Tiande suddenly changed his face, but before he could speak, Zhang Tiande turned his head to look at the servant beside him, and said in a flat tone: "Look, I will transfer him out of Jingren Palace tomorrow and send him to Anle Be a servant."

In the inner hall of Jingren Palace, Shen Qingwan stood in front of Longta, with a calm and indifferent expression.

The deaf servant raised the imperial tent respectfully, and as the veil was lifted, the emperor's figure gradually appeared.An old man with white beard and ruddy complexion, wearing a middle coat, was sitting upright in front of the dragon with his eyes closed.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor suffered from a serious illness a few days ago and could not afford to be seriously ill, so he could only stay in Jingren Palace to recover from his illness. He declined the visits of the courtiers and princes, and entrusted the four princes to handle all the affairs of the court.

The old emperor in front of him seemed to be in good health, and he didn't look like he was about to die suddenly contracting a serious disease and entangled in a sick bed.

Shen Qingwan was not surprised at all when she saw this, but smiled slightly with her lips curled up, and bowed to salute: "Wan'er has seen Uncle Huang."

Hearing the words, the emperor got up slowly, walked up to Shen Qingwan, helped her up himself, pretended to be displeased and said: "How many times have I told you that as long as it is Wan'er you come to see me, you don't need to salute. How can children always be so indifferent."

These words sounded like an ordinary elder's dissatisfaction and reprimand for being too polite to his relatives and descendants, but when he said it from the mouth of the emperor, he had to make people think too much.

But Shen Qingwan was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and said softly, "Uncle Huang is the king of a country, no matter whether he is a subject or a junior, Wan'er should salute when he sees Uncle Huang."

The emperor waved his hand helplessly, and walked towards the chessboard that was set up not far away: "Today I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Since Wan'er is here, why not play a game of chess with me?"

Shen Qingwan looked at his back, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly curled her lips into a faint smile, leaned forward and said, "Wan'er obeys."

The chess pieces that land on the chessboard are evenly matched, and the players who hold the chess also have their own thoughts.

Compared with the emperor's coherence and confidence, every time Shen Qingwan played a chess piece, she had to concentrate and think for a while. The emperor was not in a hurry. Scanned back.

This game of chess didn't take long, less than half an hour later, Shen Qingwan put down the white piece in his hand, sighed faintly and lowered his eyes and said: "The chess missed a move, and Wan'er was convinced of the defeat."

The emperor stroked his beard, his eyes fell on an unremarkable white piece in the corner of the chessboard, and he asked with a meaningful smile, "Is it because the chess is missing a move, or is Wan'er reluctant to give up that piece."

Shen Qingwan looked up at the emperor, her clear eyes were calm and indifferent without any waves, she opened her lips and said lightly: "The defeat is settled, even if you give up, you can't turn defeat into victory. Uncle Huang's chess is so good, Wan'er has long been unable to return." sky."

The emperor smiled, raised his hand to take the white piece on the chessboard, and twisted it in his hand: "In the past, when you played chess with me, you always met your opponent evenly, but today you lost so quickly, it shows that you are not sure. Nah."

Shen Qingwan's gaze fell on Emperor Baizi, and after a short pause, he lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle Huang called Wan'er into the palace today, but what are your orders?"

After the words were finished, the emperor suddenly flipped his hand and held Baizi tightly in his palm. He looked at Shen Qingwan with a half-smile, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that Wan'er can't guess what I want to do?"

Shen Qingwan remained silent, but her eyes fell on the emperor's tightly clenched palms again, she slightly pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes, and said softly, "Tomorrow, my father will present the documents to the emperor's uncle."

The emperor seemed very satisfied when he heard the words. He let go of his hand and intentionally dropped the white piece in front of Shen Qingwan. With a soft sound, he looked at Shen Qingwan and sighed, "If there is one more piece in this world For someone as smart as Wan'er, I should really be worried."

From the corner of Shen Qingwan's eyes, he glanced at Bai Zi in front of him, and a coldness quickly flashed across his expression.

After sighing, the emperor stood up, looked at Shen Qingwan with a condescending smile, and reminded: "The most fearful thing for a chess player is to feel pity for the chess piece in his hand. If he feels unbearable, he will hesitate." If you are not determined, you will be uncertain, and in the end you will lose everything involved."

Shen Qingwan stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle Huang's teachings, Wan'er must remember."

The emperor nodded, looked outside the door, and waved tiredly: "Okay, it's almost dawn, come and give me a few needles, so that I can sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep."

-------------------------------------

During this long night, Lin Sishen never left the bathroom, since Shen Qingwan left, she just lay on the cloud, her body was only covered with a layer of tulle.

When Mo Zhu came back the next day, Lin Sishen walked out wearing yesterday's clothes, his face was pale and gloomy, and his steps were a little vain.As soon as Mo Zhu saw her appearance, he quickly walked over to meet her without asking, and couldn't help but hold Lin Sishen's hand to check her pulse.

It has already been delayed for two days, today Lin Sishen was supposed to go to the palace to report on her duties, but she happened to catch a cold, her forehead was hot and her body was constantly sweating, even after walking a few steps, she was panting from exhaustion.

Even so, Lin Sishen still ordered Mo Zhu to get the official uniform, intending to enter the palace to attend court.

Mo Zhu persuaded her several times, but Lin Sishen coldly refused. Mo Zhu really had nothing to do with her, so he had to go and invite Liu Qingyun.

But even if it was Liu Qingyun who came to make a fuss, Lin Sishen put on his official uniform with a sullen face, turned a deaf ear to the threats and lures of the two women beside him, and staggered out.

Outside Liuguang Pavilion, Lin Sishen bumped into Lin Ying by chance.

Lin Ying stood outside the gate with a stern face and hands behind his back. He heard that Lin Sishen was ill early in the morning, and thought that Lin Sishen had no face or courage to go up to court, and wanted to pretend to be sick to avoid him.Only then did he follow, intending to put Lin Sishen into the carriage and send him to the palace.

But Liu Qingyun didn't allow him to enter the Glazed Light Pavilion, so he waited outside the door, and when Lin Sishen came out, he turned his head to look, and was startled before he could reprimand him.

Standing behind him in an official uniform, Lin Sishen's face was pale and black, and it was clearly late autumn, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.A pair of eyes that are usually dark and bright, sadly without a trace of light, only lifeless.

Like a wooden man who has lost his soul.

In the past, Lin Ye also felt that Lin Sishen was too thin for a man, but in just one day, he felt that Lin Sishen seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the loose official uniform wrapped her thin body, which seemed inexplicable. It hurts.

Thinking of the whip yesterday, Lin Ye felt a little awkward, but he still felt sorry for Lin Sishen.

He coughed lightly, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "If you are sick, you can stay in the mansion to recuperate, and my father will ask the fourth prince for leave for you. You...don't have to hold on like this."

Lin Sishen leaned over and cupped his hands expressionlessly and said: "After returning to Beijing from Longyou, my son has not yet entered the palace to report on his duties. This matter concerns the grievances of the people of Longyou, and my son must not delay."

After finishing speaking, Lin Sishen staggered out without waiting for Lin Ying to react.

Liu Qingyun and Mo Zhu chased them out, and saw Lin Zheng standing outside the door with a blank expression on his face.

Liu Qingyun couldn't help stomping her feet and gritted her teeth and said, "You reckless man, didn't you see Shen'er's face? You asked her to go to court to do something, and didn't stop her. With her current body, she might faint In the hall."

Lin Ying didn't react for a while: "I..."

But Liu Qingyun didn't wait for him to speak, and hurriedly chased Lin Sishen, leaving Lin Ying standing there blankly with a bewildered expression.
